But how are the two types of mesophyll involved? From what I understand, CO2 enters the stomata, and then the citric acid cycle of the mitochondia in the mesophyll use the carbon atoms do produce glucose, which then goes through phloem loading and it either used or stored. My question, I guess, is how exactly are the two types of mesophyll involved? Is only one used or are both used at different times in the production of the glucose?
